History

Historical Context

In the 1980s, Japan's semiconductor industry dominated the global market, controlling about 50% of sales. However, U.S. tariffs on Japanese imports in 1984 and subsequent trade agreements led to a decline in Japan's market share, dropping to around 10% by 2019. This shift paved the way for companies like Micron Technology, which now focuses on AI-related products amid evolving industry demands.
